When pushed by committee aides, Mr. Mnuchin conceded there was more. In a revised questionnaire submitted to the committee this month, he disclosed that he was also the director of Dune Capital International Ltd., an investment fund incorporated in the Cayman Islands, a tax haven. He also revealed his management posts in seven other investment funds, which he said he “inadvertently missed,” according to Finance Committee documents obtained by The New York Times.

Oops! He also forgot to mention: $95 million worth of real estate in New York, California, and Mexico, because he “misunderstood” the questionnaire (which explicitly says to disclose all real-estate assets), as well as $906,556 worth of artwork held by his children, which he was also supposed to disclose. Mnuchin says he got confused by what the term “investment assets” referred to. Hopefully he won’t need any close reading skills to run the Treasury Department.
